What is online video?

Online video is the term for digital video ads served on desktop and mobile, most commonly short-form content on news, entertainment, sports sites, and more, and on video platforms like Youtube.

Emotionally engaging

Online video captures attention like few other formats can. For example, you can show the emotional impact of a public health campaign or create excitement for an event. 

Real-time information

OLV ads are served programmatically, meaning you can target niche audiences by location, demographics, or even psychographics (and more!). Plus, it provides up to date info on your campaign for real-time optimization.

Cross-device reach

OLV can reach customers on desktop, tablet, and mobile, supplementing your CTV/OTT ads with additional placements on websites and feeds.
